Nine-year-old Princess Charlotte also sang along, and her elder brother George took in the show as well. The youngest child, Prince Louis, remained home with his mother, Kate Middleton.

Swift met with the royal attendees after the concert, along with her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who was sporting a USA Olympics hat.
“Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start 🇬🇧🇺🇸🤝,” Swift wrote on Instagram. Prince William turned 42 on June 21.
It has been a difficult year for the royal family. Middleton has been receiving cancer treatment and has been largely absent from the public eye for months—which generated immense speculation before she went public with her illness in March.
On Friday, Middleton posted a photo of William and the children frolicking in Norfolk, England, last month. “Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much!” she wrote.
Earlier this month, Middleton announced that she was making “good progress” but that she was still having “good days and bad days” as she undergoes chemotherapy.
